CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses

A Dedicated Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by agency nurses, for agency nurses, working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community care settings. We provide a safe, relaxed and supportive space where CHC nurses can connect, share experiences, access expert guidance and develop their professional careers with confidence.

We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of nursing. Our network brings CHC nurses together to support each other, improve practice and ultimately enhance the quality of care delivered to patients in the community.

A Supportive Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses

Being an agency nurse in CHC can be professionally rewarding, but it can also feel isolating at times. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides a consistent point of connection, peer support and practical help 24/7/365 through our private, invite-only online groups and regular events.

Relax, Connect and Share with Colleagues Who Understand

Our network is a place to unwind, ask questions and talk openly with colleagues who truly understand the realities of CHC nursing. Members share challenges, successes and practical tips that help make day-to-day working life easier and more sustainable.

Building Long-Term Professional and Personal Relationships

Many nurses in our community go from colleagues to close friends, staying in touch and supporting each other for years. With around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals in our core network, you gain access to a wide range of experience, perspectives and contacts that can support your career progression.

Regular Events, Networking and Knowledge-Sharing

We organise regular CHC-focused events to bring our community together in a relaxed, supportive environment. These meet-ups are designed to help agency nurses stay informed, expand their professional network and keep up to date with changes in CHC policy, practice and assessment processes.

CHC Events to Stay Up-to-Date with Best Practice

Our workshops, webinars and informal meet-ups cover key topics such as CHC eligibility criteria, assessment processes, decision support tools, care planning, commissioning expectations and regulatory updates. Sessions are led by experienced CHC nurses and subject-matter experts who understand the realities of frontline practice.

Opportunities for Professional Development and CPD

Through our events and knowledge-sharing sessions, members can enhance clinical confidence, deepen their CHC expertise and support their continuing professional development (CPD). Our goal is to help you feel well-prepared, competent and supported in complex CHC roles, whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner.

Private Social Media Groups and 24/7 Peer Support

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs several confidential, invite-only social media groups where members can share professional issues, seek advice and support one another around the clock. These groups are carefully moderated to maintain professional standards and protect confidentiality.

Safe, Confidential Spaces for Professional Discussion

Within our private groups, CHC agency nurses discuss everyday practice issues, CHC funding decisions, MDT meetings, documentation, complex cases, caseload management and navigating different commissioners and providers. The environment is supportive, non-judgemental and focused on constructive problem-solving.

Practical Support for Day-to-Day CHC Nursing

Members regularly share templates, signposting information, useful resources and experience-based tips that make CHC work more structured and manageable. Whether you are dealing with a complex CHC review, assessment, Fast Track case or placement transition, you can draw on the collective experience of the network.

Focus on CHC, Transitions and Community-Based Care

Our network has a strong focus on the realities of Continuing Healthcare and community-based nursing. We recognise the importance of safe transitions, coordinated care and respectful, person-centred practice in the home and community environment.

Supporting Safe Transitions and Continuity of Care

Through shared learning and peer discussion, CHC nurses in the network explore best practice in hospital discharge, step-down, Fast Track, respite, and long-term CHC placements. The aim is to minimise risk, promote continuity of care and ensure patients and families feel supported at every stage of their journey.

Person-Centred, Rights-Based Approach in CHC

Members are committed to maintaining a strong focus on the rights, needs and wishes of patients and families in the CHC process. Our community actively discusses how to advocate effectively, uphold legal frameworks, and ensure assessments and care plans remain truly person-centred.
